Lashing Out

As a Makeup Artist is nothing more attractive to me than a woman with a great set of lashes, I am not a fan of gobs of mascara, I think it looks hideous. I have been dying to try the new prescription product Latisse but $120.00 a month seems a bit exorbitant for a product that once you cease from using your lashes return to their wimpy selves.

A friend of mine whose lashes are AMAZING recently shared her secret which I am definitely going to try. "Rapid Lash" I found it on Amazon for $29.00 see the link below. This product can also be used on brows so if you are like me and love a strong brow this could be your best purchase yet. I will let you know how my lashes & brows are doing in a few weeks stay tuned~~

Summer Lovin'

Too much of a good thing is never a good idea. Swimming be it beach or pool can wreak havoc on your lovely locks hair, skin and nails if not properly protected. So here are my summer picks that will whisk you into fall looking like a goddess and not the creature from the black lagoon! (drumroll)
for hair try : Kérastase Chronologiste it is magical and worth every cent I think it's a steal retails for $145.00 and for that small price you get ten count them TEN at home treatments if you did it once a month that's almost a year of treatments! you can't get ten salon treatments for less than $750.00 and it's great for all hair types!
For Nails Nubar Foundation Base Coat will keep your polish on longer will will prevent your mani pedi from chipping and peeling. For a top coat I am a fan of Out The Door see the links below

My favorite skin care is still hands down Skincueticals try A.G.E. Eye Complex the most amazing eye cream on the market. You can thank me later.. I also love their Clarifying Cleanser and serums.


For the body beautiful my pick


The Caudalie Firming Concentrate is outstanding! I have been using it and it WORKS smells so clean and leaves your legs and body looking like stepped back in time! you will fall in love with this french line and you can't beat the prices!
